I just used "linux rescue" on a box with one single scsi hard drive
/dev/sda with two partition sda1 -> linux and sda2 -> swap and it
claimed that I don't have any linux partitions!?
The scsi driver was loaded and just using "mkdir /mnt/sysimage; mount
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sysimage" worked fine.
Please crate at least the mount point "/mnt/sysimage" even if no
partitions are found or if the user chooses not to look for them.
This does not hurt and it saves some typing.

The mountpoint might be crated but you can't use "tab";-) Moreover, if you
mistype it your path won't be correct.
No the fs was clean and the linux partition contained a fresh install
(unfortunately anaconda failed to install lilo correctly....).

BTW, I just noted that if you have to drives hda and hdb which both
contain linux installations it will mount the one from hdb rather than
the one from hda. Shouldn't it check hd{a,b,c,d} in this order? This
seems more resonable to me.
